A lot of clients pose this question for me, especially the corporate folks. Many of the folks that ask me about it don’t really need the answer for themselves, because they already want to work with social media, but they need the answer for some executive who is difficult to persuade. If you want to know what I tell them to say, you’ll need to check out my latest blog post on Search Engine Guide, “What about the Risk of Social Media?”

I think you raise a fair point in this article, the heightened risk of a security breach by embracing social media is minimal provided employees are informed properly and structured by guidelines.
Besides this of course, overall, the benefits outweigh the possible risks quite substantially.

Point taken. When I see your post I get curious with the content and clicked on it. As I said, point taken. I just wanted to know the reason why putting the explosion photo to your post? It’s is adding to my curiosity. Is it your way too of attracting readers?

I put an image on each of my posts because it creates visual interest. I chose an explosion for this one because the risk-averse are always worried about something blowing up. :-)

It is a bigger risk to ignore social media. Large companies who are obsessive about controlling their brand are missing the boat when it comes to social media.
